Automated external defibrillator and power supply adapted for non-clinical use

Abstract

Some embodiments of the current disclosure are directed toward defibrillation and defibrillation equipment, and more particularly, an automated external defibrillator (AED) and a non-clinical power adapter therefor. In some embodiments, an AED may include an electrical connector to receive a battery pack, at least one capacitor to store energy, an electrotherapy delivery circuit to deliver the energy externally as electrotherapy, at least one discharge circuit to internally discharge energy stored in the capacitor(s), a non-clinical power adapter to be received by the electrical connector, and at least one processor. The processor(s) may determine whether the non-clinical power adapter is electrically coupled to the electrical connector, determine whether the automated external defibrillator recognizes the non-clinical power adapter, and/or enable power to be supplied to the automated external defibrillator from the non-clinical power adapter if the automated external defibrillator recognizes the non-clinical power adapter.
